{{Stephanie}} Vibing for an understanding hubby. It's easy when there's a geographical separation to live only in your own head. Is Joe going to be home soon enough before the birth that you'll get a chance to actually talk about this, then? I've a feeling that when you two can actually get together F2F, a lot of what you're saying will make more sense to him.

ION, I finally decided to set a timer. I'm giving myself 30 minutes of clean time to 20 minutes of play time. So far, I've tidied up both the hallway table and the entertainment center. Found out I have a lot more space on it then I realized once everything was put in appropriate containers. I'll actually have room to store some of the stuff that's been sitting in piles next to the desk. Joy.

{{Sean}} I am putting you in for a good old fashion miracle.

DH drove me to the coffe shop. I took at little walk - now it is time for a rest.

So far my day has consisted of a visit to the most miserable hospital patient ever. She is the mother of a good friend of my mom's. Sghe had a bad fall and possibly a heart attack. She's usually pretty cantankerous to begin with but today supassed her usual mood by a mile. The woman in the hospital's sister-in-law is also seriously ill with congestive heart failure. If some ~ma can be spared for them and their family, I would be grateful.

IOmuchlessseriousbuthappierN, my mother bought me the most beautiful toille curtains for my living room today. I can't wait to put them up.

Much ~ma for your mom's friends, sj.

Oooh, curtains. Are there going to be pictures?

Hopefully. I need to get my stepfather over here with the drill to hang the rod first, and then I can hang them. It probably won't happen until I get back from vacation.

Perkins, I probably won't be able to make it over this afternoon, for various reasons, including dealing with car stuff. I will try tomorrow.

That's fine, Sean. I will be around all day tomorrow, except when I am in the basement doing laundry.

I want curtains for my sliding doors. Everyone seems so enamored of vertical blinds and I hate them. Once I get things tidied up around here, I may actually go out shopping. Curtains can help set the tone until I decide what color/s I want to paint the place, if I paint the place.

That is what mine are for. There has been nothing on them since I moved in, and it has been bothering me.

Best of luck, Sean.

My mom wants me to call her every fucking day (increased from every two or three days), and because I don't (as if I was even fulfilling her less stringent requirement), I have no love or care for my parents. Whatever. I'm so tired of this shit. I'm 23. I'm busy. I call when I feel like talking.
